A new dispensary has been opened at
No. AZ Oakland avenue, by Mrs. Grinnell,
Mrs Newell and Miss Aldridge, daughter of
Justice Aldridge, for all persons who are
unable to pay medical bills. Tho dispen-
sary was opened last Wednesday, and the
lady physicians feel confident that their
praiseworthy efforts will meet with the
success they deserve. The consulting
hours are between two and four o'clock
every afternoon, excepting Sundays, and
one of the lady physicians will be in
charge each day. No charge will be made
for consultation, and medicines will be fur
nished to those who are unable to purchase
them. It is predicted that the institution
will be one of the most important philan-
thropic agencies in the city.

THE NEW ACADEMY.
What IL is TO be Like when ReOpened
in the Coming Fall.


Manager Henderson is busy already re-
building the Academy of Music, and the
work that is to prepare it for the fall re-
opening about the middle of September is
under way. Nothing now remains of the
old interior save the four walls that en-
circled it, and even more than taat has
been cleared away, for the new theatre is
to take in the saloon that used to be on
the floor below the old play house. The
first noticeable change in the new interior
is that the orchestra floor will be on level
with the street; in the old play house it
was floor above the street. There will be
a semi-circle promenade around the audi
toruim. This will be closed off from the
street by wide sliding door. To the street
from those doors will be but twenty feet.
Stair-cases seven feet wide will admit to the
balconies, SO that the theatre can be
emptied without the least danger iii the
event of fire. Broad windows That will be
cut into the lower floor will facilitate
escape if the danger be imminent, AS an
additional precaution tank is to be ar
ranged SO that the stage can be flooded in
the twlnkling of an eye. The stage is to be
widened and deepened. The proscenium
~
80 feet. 1t is to be 60 feet wide behind the
proscenium, and, from the foot-lights, 40
feet deep. The curtain will be lifted in
stead of rolled upwards and it is to be
model of beauty. The scenery, like the
curtain, will be all new and it is enough to
say for their artistic beauty that Arthur
Voegtlin, the world-famed scene painter, is
to paint all the stage mountln9s.
Behind the orchestra chairs, the outer
rows of seats will rise one above the
other, in amphitheatre style. The archl-
tect has SO planned the new structure that
every seat will command full view of the
stage. There will be no centre aisle, prop
erly so-called, but an aisle to either side
of the centre of the orchestra seats, with
easy access to each. Assistant Manager
Hyams has already given the order to
Demorest & Co., of Brooklyn, for 500 or
chestra chairs They are to be of crimson
plush; and fitted with all the latest appll-
ances, hat racks, shawl racks, &c. The
whole of the auditorium is to be
heated by steam and lighted by electricity,
and there will be toilet rooms for the la
dies on each floor. The indications alto
gether are that the theatre will be one of
handsomest- probably the handsomest n
the State. The expense attending the
making of the Improvements will be up
wards of 10000. Mr.. Henderson is a
theatre builder of past experience Il was
he who put up the 100000 play
house in Providence, R l., and he planned
the Standard in New York as well: SO that
he knows what complete play house re-
quires. He has already concluded dates
with some of the strongest attractions in
the country, for what, we hope, will prove
to be the most prosperous season he has
yet had among us.

A Mad nfotner,s Crime.

PHILADELPHIA, June IA dreadful
tragedy occurred this morning at No. 627
South Nineteenth street, the home of
Thomas Griffith, an engineer. Mr. Grit
fiths family consisted of his wife, about
forty-four years of age, and three daugh-
tiers. aged respectively twenty, twelve
and ten years. Mr.. Griffith for month
past had manifested signs of decaying
mind, and was under the care or a physi-
clan. About o'clock this morning the
family heard a noise in Mrs. Grifith's room
and her sister-in-law, IN going to the room,
found the demented woman kneeling over
her ten-year-old daughter, Mabel. with a
heavy bladed razor IN her hand hacking at
the child's neck. Startled by the sudden
appearance of her sister-in-law, the woman
deliberately drew the keen blade across
her own throat. Her sister-in-law endeav-
ored to wrest the sharp instrument from
her, but was too late, as her throat was cut
and she fell to the floor in pool of blood.
Before medical aid could be summoned
both mother and daughter were dead
NJ tbel's school books were lying on a
chlds rocking chair in the corner, while
the whole appearance of the room showed
that tidy hand had recently adjusted
things to make cosy and pleasant home.

Higher studies az PRINCETON.

PRINCETON, N. j., June 11-An impor-
tant step was taken by the Faculty of
Princeton College last night. For the last
few weeks they have been considering what
should be done in regard to the numerous
new branches which have been and are still
being introduced into the curriculum of
the college. After careful elaboration the
conviction was reached that all these can
not be brought into the college proper.
There are not hours enough in the day for
damage the solid old branches, such as the
classics, mathematics and philosophy;
therefore, they have come to the unani-
nous conclusion that they must organize
postgraduate and university courses to be
consummated in the University degrees.
Before this decision of the Faculty can be-
come operative it will require ratification
of the Board of Trustees.

Havemeyer's Sugar Houses Burned,

GREENPoINT. L l., June 1.-THE Have
meyer Sugar Refining Company's sugar
houses were destroyed by fire early this
morning. The buildings, which covered
nearly half an acre of ground, were of
brick, and were six. eight and ten stories in
height. The total loss on the buildings is
about 100000. The contents, consisting
of about $4,000 barrels of refined sugar,
300, 900 gallons of liquid aud valuable ma
chinery are total loss. They were worth
about s400, 600; insured for about half that
amount. Foreman Demarest states that the
fire originated in the liquor rooms, on the
fourth floor, from an explosion of over
heated liquor. The flares spread rapidly
and the 200 men employed had barely time
to escape. Inquiries show that only one
man is missing; he is supposed to be on
spree somewhere. The adjoining build
ings narrowly escaped destruction.

The Heaviest Hauter in the Country
Leaves Town With Torch Lights.
Persons in the Pennsylvania Railroad
depot at about nine o'clock last night saw
a monster locomotive at the head of long
line of cars. She was evidently new and
torches blazed around the novel coal ten
der behind her to show off her points. She
was No. 444 of the Lehigh Valley Line.
and is said to be the heaviest railroad loco
motive in the country. She carries dou.
BILE boiler and two fire boxes, and had just
been received for service. Her coal tender
was fitted with cab for the two fremen,
who care for her fires, to ride in. When
she left the depot at 915, the torches still
blazed behind her, and she drew fifteen
cars. She was making her first trip, and
was on her way to Washington. 1t is said
that she is to be put at service on another
branch of the road and that she will not
come back to this city again.
